#Set up webots dongle with virtualbox install

So when you enable a Network card in your virtual guest, it is a virtual wired connection you are creating not a virtual wireless one. All 'virtual' connections are in reference to cable/wired connected ones. There is no wireless connection inside the virtualbox environment. We need to know the following information first: It may be good to read how Wireless support is handled in VirtualBox by reading Wifi card on an virtualbox's ubuntu If Point 1 and 2 are good (Your router is working great and has internet and your host has internet) then we proceed with the Guest and Virtualbox. To check simply send a ping to for example like so: ping. Make sure the Host has internet via the Router or any other source. You can use the same host or another device connected to it to check this. Now to correctly see where the problem is, in this case, we need to first check from the outer networks to the inner networks. To make it a short answer: It's a network issue. Here is the output when I run ifconfig from the terminal:ДЄnd here is the output when I run route from the terminal: Here is a snapshot of my VM's Network settings (only Adapter 1 has any information populating its fields, so I assume my VM has only 1 adapter):

The physical host that is running this VM is my laptop which has a wireless connection I'm wondering if (somehow) the laptop is getting the network wirelessly, but perhaps either the VBox VM and/or the Ubuntu server OS isn't configured for wireless and so nothing is 'getting through'?.This is actually a virtual machine running as a VirtualBox guest OS.How do I start diagnosing the problem (I'm a relatively new Linux/Ubuntu user)? I restarted the server and tried running apt-get again, same results. To my surprise, I found that /etc/nf was a symlink pointing to somewhere else and I had to delete it first, then create a new one with the entry indicated above. I read up on this error for 12.04, and found some similar posts on this forum and on server fault that recommended going into /etc/nf and adding an entry: nameserver 8.8.8.8 When I run apt-get I get 50+ of the following errors: Failed to fetch. Running ifconfig produces peculiar IP addresses starting with 10.x.x.x and my router does not see the server at all in its 'Attached Devices' page (its a consumer grade Netgear).

Running apt-get install or update fails (see below).

I just installed my first Ubuntu Server (12.04) instance and immediately ran into the following problems:
